CHICAGO, May 6.-An audience of
$4,000 persons saw the Pittsburg base
bali club ''knock the tar" out of the
Chicagos to-day. The occasion was a
remarkable one. President Spalding
had a. brass band on hand to add eclat
to the occasion. Many ladies were
present, and were diSagreeably disap-
pointed to see the home team Slaugh-
tered. The Pittsburgers were not at all
afraid of the champions of the league,
and when they did go at them it WAS
with vengeance. A few minutes
before the game the championship.
flag of 1886 was unfurled. The day was
from the ''SmOky City," After both
clubs had paraded about the grounds
for about minutes, game was called by
Umpire Sullivan. Before the ball was
pitched Dalrymple was called aside by
many admirers and was presented with
an ebony bat tipped with silver. Then
he went to the front, way cheered, and
was given his base on balls. Others fol-
lowed, and it was palpably demon
Strated i'll the first inning that the Pitts
burg's are ball players. Morris, tile
PittSburg twister, could not be found
to advantage by the Whites,
and he assisted greatly in de
feating them by a score of to 3.
The playing of Coleman, Dalrymple,
McKinnOn, Carol and Morris was re-
markable. The Pittsburgs are jubilant
over the victory tonight. Dalrymple
did all he could to play the best game of
his life, and perhaps he succeeded. He

came into left field. The Pittsburgs
never made an error and their fielding
was excellent. At the bat they did not
show any greater strength than the Chi
Cages, as they only secured six clean
hits. The Chicagos played only fairly
well, the most of the work being done
by the old players. Pyle was way Off in
his pitching, giving nine bases on balls.

NEW YORK, May 6.-To-day's New

tiresome, Notwithstanding the close

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Phila-
delphia club defeated the Washingtons
to-day in a game which, while it was
well played, was tiresome and uninter-
esting. The judgment of Umpire Will
son on balls and strikes was SO faulty
that the captains of the respective teams
were almost continually arguing with
him. Both sides suffered alike in this
respect, but the home club was badly
lay their defeat to Wilson's alleged I'M

the seventh inning they played out the
remainder of the game under protest.
Wilson was threatened with bodily
harm by some excited parties, but he
was safely escorted to the club house by
two policemen. Score:

THE HOLSTERS WHIPPED AGAIN.
DETROIT, May 6.-The Wolverine
SluggerS secured to-day'S game in the
first inning, when four five-ball hits,
three singles, a double and home run
gave them eight runs. After that inter
est in the game ceased, but some good
playing was seen. In each of the first
five innings the visitors had but three
men at the bat, the four who reached
first being quickly retired on attempts
to steal second. Healy was wild, but
his support was good and at times bril-
liant-Seery, BaSSett and Denny especi-
lily distinguishing themselves. Dunlap
did great work at second for the home
club. The home runs of Richardson and
Thompson were unusually long drives.
